Downstate is proud to host and display a commemorative panel created by the 13 sites of the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) and WIHS Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS) and the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (MACS/WIHS). This panel, created as part of the National AIDS Memorial Quilt, will be on display through August 29, honoring 30 years of the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), 40 years of the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), and five years of the unified MWCCS.
This display is a rare opportunity to witness how science, advocacy, and community courage have shaped the national legacy and to reflect on Downstate’s decades-long leadership in HIV research and care.
Brooklyn continues to shoulder a significant share of New York City’s HIV burden, where one in four new HIV diagnoses in New York City occur in Brooklyn. Nearly 75 percent of new diagnoses are among Black and Latino New Yorkers. The city remains an epicenter, with almost 125,000 people living with HIV, a rate nearly double that of the national average.
Hosting the National AIDS Memorial Quilt at Downstate is a reaffirmation of our commitment to health equity, research, and the promise to always #KeepCareClose.
